ABUsY PAsToR.-Rev. Edward Judson,
ID. d., a son of Rev. Adoniram Judson,
the noted pioneer missionary, is a veritabe
chip of the old block. Five years ago he
left a large and fashionable church and a
large salary at Orange, n. j., to labor as a
missionary among the poor of New York.
He preached on the streets for a long while,
and then took charge of the Berean Bap-
fist Church, corner of Downing and Bed
ford streets, whose membership has been
increased to 700 from 200. 1t is a hive of
religious activity. Itsupports seven homes
for aged people, provides employment for
INDECENT members, and has a tract reposi-
tory it's first tract being written by Chaun-
cy M. Depew. All the tracts are illustrat-
ed. A hundred girls are taughtin its sew
ing school. 1t has also a fresh-air fund, a
flower mission and an ice water fountain.
Several missionaries are kept at work
among the poor. Mr.. Judson will celebrate
the centennial birthday of his father in
1888 by erecting a memorial church. To
pay for it he is soliciting a dime from each
Baptist in the entire world and is receiv-
ing a hearty response.

EXTINCT CRATERs IN New MENICO.-
The reported volcanic eruption in Arizona
makes a recent conversation with ex-Sen-
ator Dosey, of New Mexico, of timely in
terest. In talking about the mountain
ranges the Senator said 'There are evil
dences clear and distinct throughout New
Mexico and Arizona of numerous volcan-
ic eruptions in the past. On the plateaus
the signs are not so distinct as they are in
tracing the formation down the sides of
the mountains. The plateaus have be-
come fertile and the evidences Of volcanic
eruptions have been destroyed, but you
can trace the lava as it flowed down the
mountain sides, and at the bottom, where
it cooled and has formed into rock, the
signs are very clear. There are scores of
these extinct craters within a few miles Of
nv ranch, and they are dotted all over
the mountains in this section. "-New York

How Mary Anderson Rose to Fame.


 How Mary Anderson Rose to Fame. Interview with John T. Ford, in Plttsburg
 Dispatch.
 "Did you ever hear how Mary An derson got her first good start as a star? No? Well, Pll tell you. She had been struggling nobly to reach the place in public favor for which her culture, genius and ambition had in measure already fitted her. l saw and admired the womanly worth and purity of purpose which character ized her work. l told Dr. Griffin, her manager, that I would like to take her south as a star for tour of six weeks, and I offered what knew they would then consider generous terms for her services, three hundred dollars per week. The offer was jumped at. had not reckoned with out my host The south was hungry for a pure, worthy and ennobling drama, enacted by an artist of it's own. She was a southern girl, a genius and a beauty. got one of the finest steel plate engravings of Romeo and Juttet that 1 ever saw.
 "I took it to lithographer and asked him what he would charge to reproduce one thousand pictures as near its counterpart as possible. He said they couldn't be done for less than twenty five cents apiece. That would make it two hundred and fifty dollars. I gave him the order and had printed across the bottom of the pie lures the line, Mary Anderson, in Ro- meo and Juliet With the prelimi- nary notice which l took good care to sec generously printed in southern newspapers, those beautiful pictures came into excellent service. knew what the people were hungry for in the way of amusement, and, after whetting their appetites by the in- strumentalities indicated, l gave it to them. And Mary Anderson made thirty thousand dollars for me in that six weeks tour. You need not think she fared poorer than l, for although she got at once only three hundred dollars per week agreed upon, I hon. estly believe that the great tour made with her furnished the assurance of the more than three hundred thousand dollars that she has since cleared. At all events she jumped from three hundred dollars per week to one thousand dollars immediately after that engagement, and has never played tor less money since"

Common Sense

Should be used in attempting to cure that very disagreeable disease catarrh. AS catarrh originates in impurities in the blood, local applications can do no permanent good. The common-sense method of treatment is to purify the blood, and for this purpose there is no preparation superior to Hoods Sar- saparilla. That this peculiar medi- cine does cure catarrh is shown by the many testimonials from people who have found relief upon using it when all others had failed.

OUR TREASURE.
BY H. c. DODGE.

- We've got a cradle in our house And we've got something in it That's just as cunning as mouse We love it every minute. Sometimes its round, blue soulful eyes Straight into yours are peeping; Sometimes, because it Is so wise, It shuts them tight-:or sleeping. With smiles it's dimpled hands reach out To mamma when she's nigh 1t; Its tremb bling lips so sweetly pout If mamma rushes by 1t. Sometimes its pink and pearly toes Right in it's mouth are sticking; Sometimes, all by itself, 1t crows And coos while gaily kicking. If, when it hides on mammals breast In loving arms that fold 1t, We try to coax it from it's nest To but a moment hold it, It's knowing head turns if to say; "No, thank you. Here my bliss IS, Then mamma in her tender way Quite smothers 1t with kisses. All day it plays with laughter sweet And gives us such pleasure; We think our home was not complete Before we had our treasure. What's in this cradle that we own? You'll never guess it. may be. So I'll just whisper you alone It is an angel baby.

Scientific Poisoning. KnahlnRton CA nltAl.

Some years ago Dr. J. B. ae La ceria, 6 learned scientist of Brazil, conducted number of experiments for the purpose of discovering an an- tidote for the poison of venomous ser pents He at last tried as a chemical antidote permanganate of potassium injected into the bite, and met with wonderful success Tho result of his experiments he published in book form, and at the time his brochure att traoted considerable attention among scientists. An effort was made In France to repeat his experiments, but from some cause they were without success. Relieving that there is good deal of truth In what l.acertla claims, Dr. Narrow, of the Smithsonian lnsti- ute, has undertaken series of ex- periments with the poison oi rattle snakes, intending to use the perman- gamte of potassium as an antidote. Various herbal preparations, having the reputation among the country folk of being remarkably efieacious in cases of snake bites, will also hr tried, and 'mad stone," popnlarlN supposed to bc possessed of great vir- tue, has been procured and wi be tested in order to set at rest once anal forever the conflicting opinions on this much debated subject. Dr. Tar row has procured four fine specimens of rattlcsnakes from Loudon county, Virginia, and during the last week he ha. In. n tity of venom. The manner of doing this was as follows: Taking n long stick, to the end of which was securely fastened broad leather strap, he con fined the latter loosely about couple of inches from the end of the stick so as to make a loop below which could be drawn tight Armed with thi, instrument, he caught the reptiles onr by one by passing tho loop over their heads. An assistant then held n long thin stick, to the end of which was attached piece of cotton wool sain- rated with glycerine, to the mouth "t the snake, and he was made to bite the wool which soaked up the venom emitted freely by the angry creature as it buried its fangs in It's inanimaie enemy. The poisonous virus having been thus extracted from the serpents, it was soaked out in an ounce of gly- cerine and the operation repeated on the following day. A drachm and Il half of venom has thus been secured, or more than enough to kill thirty men.
 The experiments will be conducted on pigeons and rabbits. A certain quantity of the virus sufficient to kill will be hypcrdcrmically injected into pigeon as the first experiment Then little more than was enough to kill will be injected into another pigeon and immediately followed by an injection of the permanganato ot potassium, which it Is believed will prove an antidotc. The experiments will then be continued, allowing vary ing spaces of time to elapse be- tween the injection of the virus and the application of the antidote. In this connection Dr. Narrow is anxious 10 Ind man who would like to bc bitten by rattlesnake in the cause of science, and who would be willing to take his chances of surviving the ex ; pertinent. Should an antidote for snake poison be found by Dr. Yar!ow in the course of these experiments, he will confer an incalculable benefit upon the country.
